on a brighter note i think we're a few years away from fully privatizing the powers of a creator god...go humans?!?!

The Court is establishing the foundation for the bureaucracy to manage it. With this and the brain mapping initiative we are possibly in for some interesting changes in our lifetimes.

I agree. While it motives corporate research and profits, it kills private research for fear of infringement and the costly process that follows.

I understand the ideas behind capitalist society. I understand how competition motivates progress. I understand how patents foster investment into advances to realize returns which nets progress for society.

I just think that the side effects are not worth the outcome.

I also think that those are not the only motivators of progress.

Revision isn't going to help. We need to uproot the rotten tree and help a different tree grow.
